La Doncella
How was she found?
The girl and two other children were left on a mountaintop called Ampatos to succumb to the cold as offerings to the gods, according to the archaeologists who found the mummified remains in Argentina in 1999.
National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Johan Reinhard, who co-led the expedition, described the discovery at the time as "the best preserved of any mummy I've seen."
The mummy, called La Doncella or The Maiden, is a teenage girl who died more than 500 years ago in a ritual sacrifice in the Andes Mountains and is the most preserved person from so long ago.
